A warm welcome to St Mary's Primary School, Corowa
At the heart of our school is a caring, faith-filled community where every student and their family is welcomed, valued, and embraced. We believe in nurturing not just academic growth, but also the spiritual and personal development of each individual. Our dedicated staff is deeply committed to ensuring that every student reaches their full potential, providing a supportive and empowering environment for all. Rooted in our motto of Love and Truth, we cultivate a space where compassion, respect, and integrity guide our actions, creating a foundation for success, kindness, and lifelong learning.
Our school is proud to have a long and rich history rooted in the legacy of the Sisters of Mercy, founded by Catherine McAuley in 1831. Catherine’s vision of providing education, care, and support to those in need continues to shape the ethos of our school today. The Sisters of Mercy have been instrumental in fostering a deep commitment to education, social justice, and service to others, principles that remain at the heart of our community. Their unwavering dedication to empowering students through both academic and moral education has had a lasting impact on generations of learners. We honor their legacy by continuing to nurture a spirit of compassion, integrity, and excellence, ensuring that Catherine McAuley's mission to transform lives through education thrives in every student who walks through our doors.
A Catholic scripture that beautifully combines love and truth is from John 3:18: "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." This verse emphasizes that true love is not just spoken but is shown through actions and grounded in truth. It highlights the Catholic teaching that love and truth go hand in hand in our daily lives.
We are truly delighted to welcome you to our school, where we proudly uphold the pillars of Welcome, Faith, Service, and Learning. Each day, we strive to create an environment that fosters growth, compassion, and a deep sense of belonging. As you embark on this journey with us, we hope you embrace these values and feel the support and inspiration around you. May your time here be filled with enriching experiences, meaningful connections, and a passion for learning. We are excited to have you as part of our community and look forward to all the wonderful moments we will share together.
God bless,
Cheryl Brigden
